The Summer Academy’s central objective: to spread interest and promote training in political psychology around the world.
The Summer Academy fellows: every year a new program is designed for young scholars who are likely to teach political psychology and/or conduct political psychology research in the future.
The 2012 Summer Academy: This year, the Summer Academy will be held in Chicago, USA, in the three days prior to the ISPP International conference.
The 2012 Fellows: Fellows will receive a full fee waiver for the 2012 ISPP annual meeting, and free ISPP membership for 2012.
Our 2012 courses: This year the Summer Academy program hosts five new courses by prominent scholars: Susan Condor (Lancaster University), Jack Levy (Rutgers University), Victor Ottati (Loyola University Chicago) Felicia Pratto (University of Connecticut), Jerrold Post (George Washington University) and an introductory course in Political Psychology by Leonie Huddy and Stanley Feldman (Stony Brook University). Fellows will also discuss their research agendas in smaller breakout groups, and take part in a number of social activities.
Last year, the first ISPP Summer Academy took place between the 6th and 8th of July 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey, and was attended by a truly interdisciplinary group of 36 fellows from the USA, Europe and Turkey, with research agendas in Psychology, Politics and IR, Social Sciences and Humanities. Prominent political psychologists offered short courses addressing cutting edge theoretical debates and key methodological approaches to political psychology, on Terrorism (Martha Crenshaw), Political Leadership (Peg Hermann), Multiculturalisms, Conflict and Integration (Catarina Kinnvall), the Social Psychology of Protest (Bert Klandermans), Social Identity (Steve Reicher), Inequality and Social Dominance (Jim Sidanius) and Key Debates in Political Psychology (Stanley Feldman and Leonie Huddy).
